About Almudena
Almudena Ruiz Roman brings a straightforward, compassionate approach to therapy. She emphasizes genuineness, openness, and a non-judgmental stance to help people face stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, anger, and depression. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on long clinical experience to support people through difficult changes and losses.
With 27 years of experience, she has worked in Spain, the UK, and the United States. Almudena is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). Her background includes work with substance-related concerns and other complex problems that often appear together, like chronic illness, grief, and mood disorders.
Her sessions focus on understanding what you are facing now and on practical steps you can use day to day. She helps people develop clearer responses to stress and build skills for managing panic, phobias, and strong emotions. She also supports those coping with disaster-related stress and first responder issues.
Therapy is a collaborative process for her. She listens for the patterns that keep problems active, then offers techniques and exercises to shift those patterns. Over time, clients work toward clearer goals, improved coping, and steadier mood.
If you prefer therapy in Spanish, she offers services in that language as well. To begin, follow the site’s matching and scheduling steps to find a time that fits your needs.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Almudena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide practical change. One commonly used approach focuses on learning concrete coping skills for anxiety and panic, such as breath work, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations to reduce avoidance. Another approach emphasizes processing trauma and strong emotional reactions in a paced way so memories and triggers become less overwhelming and responses feel more manageable.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust techniques based on how well they are working. The plan evolves as progress is made and new needs appear.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed. It also lets people continue care when sudden life events, including disasters, disrupt normal routines. Licensed professionals adapt methods so practical skills and trauma work translate to remote formats when appropriate.
